I think its time the police put number plate recognition cameras at petrol stations then if your cars not taxed mot'd or insured its an offence to let you fill up. Its time to hit back and get these scum off the roads i'm sick of having to pay for the thieving scum. Or have a thumb print scanner before you fill up that would sort the scum out.

Anyway , I was driving yesterday behind a scruffy Vauxhall in Blackburn .

I had already observed he had no brake lights , kept my distance , so when he slammed on , I could easily stop . Sorry , no whiplash claims for you lot .

I totally agree with mmickk .

I am sick of the "scum" , who make me pay more for insurance , and for fuel .

I used to be in the retail trade - we had a saying -
"The Honest Customers pay for the Shoplifters" .

How sad .

Well - I note that mmcikk has had two votes down .
I think that is because he put in two words too many .
"its an offence to let you fill up" , should have read -
"its an offence to fill up" .
I am surprised that the two "down voters" did not realise this .
I drive a lot on motorways and there are many NPRC's .
Fine by me - I am 100% legal - I drive a very powerful car .

How about programmed pumps, where you pay, up front and receive a measured amount to that value?
This isn't my idea, it was utilised by paraffin machines, in the late 50's and 60's, so should work on the larger scale, I'd have thought.

"The thieves have been slammed by Hyndburn and Haslingden MP Graham Jones, who said they are responsible for forcing up prices at the pump."

So the govt and Oil Companies have nothing to do with the price of fuel?

At Asda you have ton sett a card before delivery of fuel. No chance of leaving without paying. Could be done at all fuel stations.

With respect, that's ok for drivers who have a credit or debit card but what about those who have no access to this method of payment?
Otherwise, a good idea.

Darrener - an excellent way to go about it. That's what ASDA do in Blackburn.
.
and to Harry . . . . the people you are concerned about are driving a CAR, likely to cost a grand ( or much more ) . . . . they pay for insurance, maintenance, tax disk, MOT, plus other motoring costs . . . . they have to have money. If they are not paying then they are an out and out THIEF !

They have been doing this in the States for over 15 years, very few drive offs there. ( cops would probably shoot you if you did )

Another choice do what Americans do, pay for fuel before you fill up. The pumps stop as soon as you reach the amount you've paid for.

The 'people I am concerned about' as you put it are the people who don't have a credit or debit card for whatever reason that may be. Not everyone does! Nobody said anything about them not having money. And for you to accuse people who haven't got a bank card as 'an out and out theif' is, quite frankly, tantamount to being, not just judgemental but libelous!
You need to choose your words more carefully.

Trouble with all these suggestions is they cost money so who ends up paying?
The honest motorists!
One solution, deterrent, hit the criminals where it hurts, in their pockets. Crush their cars and fine them heavily.
